Hey everyone! This is Jason Fader, the Project Director on System Shock. This has been a crazy 24 hours and we’re already halfway there! The team was incredibly overwhelmed by your support and we truly appreciate it. You guys are awesome!

Nightdive CEO and System Shock creative director Stephen Kick also has a few humble words to share.

I’m sitting at my desk after our first day of funding and I’m finding it very difficult to put into words just how grateful I am to everyone and the support they’ve given us over the last 24 hours. Your outpouring is inspiring and we’re doing our best to answer the various questions, requests and concerns you have regarding the campaign, rewards, supported platforms and bugs you’ve encountered in our demo.

In regards to a potential PlayStation 4 version of the sci-fi RPG, Kick said that Nightdive has “started discussions with Sony regarding a PS4 release,” but they can’t guarantee anything just yet.

We’ve been listening to your requests and have started discussions with Sony regarding a PS4 release – at this stage we can’t confirm System Shock on PS4, but we will follow up with an announcement in the near future with more details.

The System Shock remake is currently on track to release on Xbox One and PC towards of the end of 2016. An early in-progress demo is currently available to download for free on Steam.
